The graphics have been widely criticized as "godawful" and "lazy pixel art," lacking the quality of real 3D visuals. While some players argue that similar games have thrived despite poor graphics, the overall sentiment suggests that the visual presentation detracts from the game's appeal.
- “This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”
